Revising quantum optical phenomena in adatoms coupled to graphene nanoantennas

June 8, 2022
Author(s)
Garnett W. Bryant, Miriam Kosik, Marvin Muller, Karolina Slowik, Andres Ayuela, Carsten Rockstuhl, Marta Pelc
Graphene flakes acting as photonic nanoantennas sustain strong electromagnetic field localization and enhancement. To exploit the field enhancement, quantum emitters such as atoms or molecules should be positioned in such close proximity to the flake that

Specification for Interoperability Testing of Contactless Fingerprint Acquisition Devices

June 8, 2022
Author(s)
John M. Libert, Shahram Orandi, Bruce Bandini, Kenneth Ko, Craig I. Watson, Christopher Stafford, Matthew E. Staymates, John Grantham
This guidance specifies a protocol and associated metrics for the evaluation of contactless fingerprint acquisition device, and their interoperability with legacy devices. This protocol enables contactless fingerprint developers seeking certification of

Spectrophotometric Measurement of Carbonate Ion in Seawater over a Decade: Dealing with Inconsistencies

June 7, 2022
Author(s)
Elisa Guallart, Noelia Fajar, Maribel Garcia-Ibanez, Monica Castano-Carrera, Rocio Santiago-Domenech, Abed El Rahman Hassoun, Fiz Perez, Regina Easley, Marta Alvarez
The spectrophotometric methodology for carbonate ion determination in seawater was first published in 2008 and has been continuously evolving in terms of reagents and formulation. Although the method proves to be fast, relatively simple and affordable

Users Are Not Stupid: Eight Cybersecurity Pitfalls Overturned

June 7, 2022
Author(s)
Julie Haney
Whether you're implementing security policy or developing products, considering the human element is critical. Yet security professionals often fall victim to misconceptions and pitfalls that undermine users' ability to reach their full security potential

A continuum of bright and dark pulse states in a photonic-crystal resonator

June 6, 2022
Author(s)
Su-Peng Yu, Erwan Lucas, Jizhao Zang, Scott Papp
Nonlinearity is a powerful determinant of physical systems. Controlling nonlinearity leads to interesting states of matter and new applications. In optics, diverse families of continuous and discrete states arise from balance of nonlinearity and group

Certification of Standard Reference Material(R) 114r Portland Cement Fineness

June 6, 2022
Author(s)
Eduarda Votri, Blaza Toman, Paul E. Stutzman
The SRM 114 series for portland cement fineness has been provided by NIST since 1934 for use in calibrating instruments for measuring fineness characteristics of portland cement and other powdered construction materials. SRM 114r is the latest of this

Probing the Link between Pancratistatin and Mitochondrial Apoptosis through Changes in the Membrane Dynamics on the Nanoscale

June 6, 2022
Author(s)
Stuart R. Castillo, Brett W. Rickeard, Mitchell DiPasquale, Michael H. Nguyen, Aislyn Lewis-Laurent, Milka Doktorova, Batuhan Kav, Markus S. Miettinen, Michihiro Nagao, Elizabeth Kelley, Drew Marquardt
Pancratistatin (PST) is a natural antiviral alkaloid that has demonstrated specificity towards cancerous cells and explicitly targets the mitochondria. PST initiates apoptosis while leaving healthy, noncancerous cells unscathed. However, the manner by

High Energy X-Ray Diffraction and Small-Angle Scattering Measurements of Hydrogen Fatigue Damage in AISI 4130 Steel

June 4, 2022
Author(s)
Matthew Connolly, May Ling Martin, Peter Bradley, Damian Lauria, Andrew Slifka, Jun-Sang Park, Robert Amaro, Jonathan Almer
Accurate lifetime predictions are critical for repurposing existing pipelines for hydrogen transmission as well as for developing novel steels which are minimally susceptible to lifetime degradation by hydrogen. Ultimately, lifetime prediction models

A New Spin on Kibble: A Self Calibrating Torque Realization Device at NIST

June 3, 2022
Author(s)
Zane Comden, Stephan Schlamminger, Charles Waduwarage Perera, Frank Seifert, David B. Newell, Jay H. Hendricks, Barbara L. Goldstein, Leon Chao
After the 2019 redefinition of the International System of Units (SI), torque no longer needs to be traceable to a calibrated weight suspended from a known lever arm. Specifically, a modification of the Kibble principle used for realizing the kilogram

Assessment of intra-build variations in tensile strength in electron beam powder-bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V part 1: Effects of build height

June 2, 2022
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Alejandro Romero, Aldo Rubio, Cesar Terrazas, Newell Moser, Orion Kafka, Jake Benzing, Francisco Medina, Ryan Wicker, Nik Hrabe
In this work, rectangular blocks of electron beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V were built, such that a total of 68 mini-tensile test coupons could be extracted for mechanical testing over a range of build height and

Current Ecotoxicity Testing Needs Among Selected U.S. Federal Agencies

Author(s)
Patricia Ceger, David Allen, Elyssa Arnold, Jennifer Brennan, Lyle Burgoon, Raanan Bloom, Carol Clarke, Natalia Garcia-Reyero, Kellie Fay, Jon Hamm, Paula Henry, Wesley Hunter, Donna Judkins, Nicole Kleinstreuer, Carlie Lalone, James Laurenson, Jessica Leet, Scott Lynn, Teresa Norberg-King, Edward Odenkirchen, Elijah Petersen, Barnett Rattner, Catherine Sprankle, Thomas Steeger, Jim Warren, Sarah Winfield
U.S. regulatory and research agencies utilize ecotoxicity test data to assess the hazards associated with substances that are released into the environment, including consumer products, industrial chemicals, metals and metalloids, nanomaterials, and

Emerging technologies in the field of thermometry

June 2, 2022
Author(s)
Zeeshan Ahmed, Graham Machin, Sergey Dedyulin
The past decade saw the emergence of new temperature sensors that have the potential to disrupt a century-old measurement infrastructure based on resistance thermometry. In this review we present an overview of emerging technologies that are either in the

Measurement-induced quantum phases realized in a trapped-ion quantum computer

June 2, 2022
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Alexey Gorshkov, David Huse, Christopher Monroe, Crystal Noel, Pradeep Niroula, Daiwei Zhu, Andrew Risinger, Laird Egan, Debopriyo Biswas, Marko Cetina
Many-body open quantum systems balance internal dynamics against decoherence from interactions with an environment. Here, we explore this balance via random quantum circuits implemented on a trapped-ion quantum computer, where the system evolution is
